Mr.Kumpir offers a meniu of potatoes, done in the Turkish fast food style.
So supposedly this thing is a fast food "chain". Although with apparently only 7 locations world wide, and this being the only one in the America's, this hardly qualifies. But be warned, this is primarily a takeout joint, though there is a short counter you can sit at. It is quite clean though, and you can get a view of the beach.
We went here on a lark, not expecting much. Baked potatoes. Really. They even tell you how they make it in 5 easy steps, which hardly sets my mouth watering.
Being lazy, we select one of the "specials", Turkish and the Ocean. Hmm, they top in at just under $6, so it isn't cheap. However, the potatoes are pretty big.
Surprise surprise, it was actually pretty good! What actually happens is they have these roasted/baked potatoes, they cut it open fresh, then basically you get a nice mashed potato (the skin is the bowl). Then it's slobbered with all sorts of generous toppings. I think the potato flavour may have gotten lost in all those other ingredients, but it made a decent meal anyways. Sort of like a "rice bowl", except with potato.
Keep in mind these things were quite large. We shared each potato between 2 people and it made for a good snack. If you're a hungry single, just one order would make a decent meal.
At least two of our party gave it a big thumbs up and said they would return. I'm sort of on the fence, but I certainly wouldn't mind going back. I would recommend having a go anyways, just for fun.
Wow, it is REALLY good. Huge potato mash with cheese n butter, many choices to put in. It is absolutely not a junk food. Yummies in my tummies :))) I don't know anywhere else that has better baked potatoes. Toppings are fresh and they put a lot inside. Luv ya Mr. Kumpir
